2.5 hour Explorer Cruise on Ocean Dreaming 2


Friday 12th of August 2016 and I took a taxi from the hotel to Circular Quay. I had been here yesterday to look where the whale watching cruise departed from so it was no problem to find Whale Watching Sydney - 2.5 hour Explorer Cruise on Ocean Dreaming 2wharf 6 and Whale Watching Sydney's berth. And I had some time to kill before the departure.

When the boat came we boarded and there wasn't so many passengers so I was happy.

I checked the bar and only Coca Cola products and I went ashore to buy some real diet drinks. We left wharf 6 and Circular Quay behind and it started Whale Watching Sydney - 2.5 hour Explorer Cruise on Ocean Dreaming 2good, no one screaming on the PA system.

Gorgeous weather and I was wondering if it was possible for the day to get any better start while we were steaming towards the Whale Watching Sydney - 2.5 hour Explorer Cruise on Ocean Dreaming 2open sea leaving Port Jackson behind. We started with a safety instruction on how to done the life west after the departure.

As son as the safety demonstration was ready they went in to full speed and we were soon leaving the port behind us. We started to look for whales and it didn't take long to find a humpback whale that was swimming toward the north.

Well, a beautiful morning looking for whales had come to an end. We were going back to Sydney and I will get off the boat at Circular Quay. I will have about 1 hour before I will take off on the 3 hour afternoon cruise with Whale Watching Sydney on board the Ocean Tracker

And I decided to go to have lunch while waiting for the 3 hour Discovery Cruise. Rossini Cafe is just off the jetty and I went there to see if they had something to eat and I was pleasantly surprised when they had smoked salmon and avocado.

I took my seat and I had soon ordered a salmon pasta and a pot of Earl Grey tea. The avocado and smoked salmon was wonderful. And the salmon pasta was also very good and, yeah, the Earl Grey was of course very good.

When I finished the food I asked for some dessert. There was some pastry with chocolate and vanilla custard. Chocolate and vanilla, not a mix I regard as something delicious. So I asked for two of the Italian pastries, one with vanilla custard and one with chocolate custard.

And while I was waiting for the dessert I did some bird watching. Yes, from the comfort of my chair at Rossini restaurant I could watch a Noisy Miner as we had one of them that had flew in to the restaurant. So I enjoyed the bird flying around in the restaurant.

Well, it was a few minutes after 1 o'clock and I went down to the jetty to board Ocean Tracker for the 3 hour Discovery Cruise. I had seen the boat when they arrived as I had been enjoying the sunshine and the sights of Circular Quay while waiting for the boat. They recognised me when I stepped on board.

We were soon on our way and I spotted a group climbing the Sydney Bridge and the people climbing the Sydney opera was still on top of the building. I had seen ads for climbing the bridge, but not for climbing the opera house.

We were informed by our Guide on the PA system that Jacki Chang was making a movie and that they were going to jump out from the opera house. So if you ever get to see the movie you know that I was on a whale watching boat below them. Yeah, something to think about.

It takes us about 10 to 15 minutes to get out of Port Jackson and we're on the open ocean. No wind, but there is always some swell and there are always someone getting seasick. And we had been out for a few minutes when we spot the first humpback whale.

The sun is giving a glare on the water and we try to stay between the sun and the humpback whale. But sometimes you can get very nice pictures with the whale in the glare.

We followed the humpback whale on its way north to the breeding ground outside Queensland.

Yet another beautiful day on the Pacific Ocean outside Sydney had come to an end. I was back in my room around 4 thirty. A shower and I was soon off to Kings X to go have a beer. There wasn't much going on, nothing like when I stayed there 25 years ago.

They had suggested Oxford Street and I asked if this wasn't an area for guy people. When I was here 25 years ago it was a guy area. It is still today, but there are all kind of people going there. So I took a taxi there and just as last time in Sydney, my first beer was at a guy bar. But the music was good. Yet another Smiley on www.aladdin.st Hmm, most likely because I filled the jukebox with coins and I made a funky play list. Nothing like the “Taxi CD” but way better than the crap they had going when I came.

I had 3 beers, and yes, I had asked for San Miguel Light, but they didn't had any. So I had to drink something else and, well, the third beer was OK. I walked around the area and Oxford Street must be the most boring “party” area in the world.

But that was until I learned that it was in Tokyo, the music places are either in the basement or on the second floor. So you walk by a boring restaurant when they have the best music going in the basement. So the night turned out pretty well with funky music and when I took a taxi back home I knew that I would miss the morning whale watching tour.

Well, the Sydney adventure continues HERE, hangover or no hangover.
